Well, that explains it! Glowing Amraam is good! Yep, you can guarantee his videos offer pretty much above and beyond anything you will ever experience or hear in-game

If I wasn't so awestruck by his videos, I could swear it's well within false advertising territory There is a disclaimer, with regard to sounds, at the beginning of some of his videos. I rarely bother to watch them since they don't, typically, show me the sim that I will be getting.

His videos are always amazing, for sure. I have to constantly remind myself that I don't experience the same level of excitement when I play (some due to DCS's lack of immersion, some due to pilot capability as well...).

Yeah they are pretty aren't they, but like all movies, it's a process of editing lots of stuff to make it look a way that appeals to the eye (and ears..... the sounds FX always bugs me though, in general sound in Sim's has been fairly average when compared to the visuals)

is like any trailler , they show you the best bits
They dont show you: DCS falling over more often than a one legged man in an arse kicking contest Multiplayer timeouts Massive MP lag spikes Features not working right etc etc etc

Wow. Could you possibly get any more toxic and cynical? Why do you even bother commenting on the sim if you're just going to do nothing except #%&*$# on every single aspect? I don't mind the "toxic and cynical" bit.... but please point out where we're wrong on what we've said. If you want all rainbows and unicorns, go to the ED forums. "#%&*$# on every single aspect"? LOL, that's ED's doing. because they've been banned from the other forums that got tired of hearing it. you'd think they'd just move on to a new sim and leave things alone but.. i'm not going to pre-purchase the f-18, or at least not until it's much more clear that release is imminent. end of spring 2018 is a very ambiguous and distant release date. FYI, I'm not banned over there. Also, the "other forums" have not gotten "tired" of hearing it. Suppression and censorship, more like. Ban members and purge threads just because you're "tired of hearing it"?? Ha! gosh thats some real constructive criticism there fellas, really promotes an atmosphere of discussion Feel free to show us where ED listened to constructive criticism? Have ED decided on a new "phone home" timeframe yet? No? Feel free to show us where ED listened to constructive criticism. now excuse me while I go play a multitude of high fidelity hornet sims like Jane's F/A-18... oh doesn't work on win10. Strike Fighters 2? Pretty but missing some necessary features.... BMS? a pig in a dress is still a pig. Seven-G demo? nice to fly in but thats it. VRS Superbug? Gorgeous... but you're still flying in a civilian aircraft simulator world, lol. Obviously, your expectations are.... different. Also, please feel free to elaborate how BMS is a pig. This should be good. Maybe BMS also has crappy 1999 graphics?? Was the A-10C not a high fidelity digital combat simulator? Yes... now please show us where we're complaining about DCS A10C?
